Series; Comparing the Charms of Modern Beauties
Flowers of Yamashita - Three young beauties, elegantly attired, indicating their status, are enjoying a leisurely afternoon. One playfully teases a kitten, dangling a tasseled ball above its head. A beautiful print to collect or display.
Woodblock reprints - In the 20th century, artists and publishers collaborated to recreate famous woodblock prints for interested Japanese collectors and Westerners looking for rare designs. New blocks were made, and the prints were painstakingly printed by artisan printers in the same method as the 19th century originals - one block for each color. Woodblock reprints were an opportunity to collect and enjoy a famous design at a small fraction of the price of an original. They still are today.
